Hey new followers,

I direct a Center for Social Change and Belonging, and I'm an Associate Teaching Prof in Philosophy, African/African American Studies, etc.

My work focuses on the intersections of race, law, education, and philosophy. I also focus on social justice, activism, and liberation.

How the Burial Ground of My Enslaved African Ancestors Became a Historical Landmark Sade Green visits the burial site of her enslaved African ancestors and explores what it means to be a witness to their lives and legacy.

For TIME Magazine, I wrote about how I traced my roots back to Midway Plantation and attended a ceremony where the burial ground of my enslaved African ancestors became a historical landmark!!!! This is a story about legacy and how you can NEVER erase us. time.com/7199378/afri...

The man killed by a US Border Patrol officer in Minneapolis was an ICU nurse, family says Family members say the man who was killed by a federal officer in Minneapolis was an intensive care nurse at a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs hospital who cared deeply about people and was upset ...

“As of Saturday evening, the family said they had still not heard from anyone at a federal law enforcement agency about their son’s death.”

Don't know a single Black person like that man. Fake, fraud, bullshitter. Now two real sisters gonna pay the price.

Lemon on par with Jussie and OJ. Making everyone and everything worse!!

We got a ICE problem and he gotta go in a CHURCH stirring up more trouble?!?!?! Yapping bout white folks and go home to a white man?!

Those two girls gonna do his stretch!

Lemon belongs in jail not those two sisters they arrested.

You fools fall in line without critical thinking at all.

ICE is bad but protesters got no business in church.

White people scared to call this out because its a Black man.

No job security exists anymore. Housing security has always been shaky for many years. Food insecurity has even gotten concerning for the working class which means the poor are suffering.

And a lot of the blame fall squarely in the hands of no bank bone Republican leadership since the early 2000s.

It’s giving 1990s apartheid energy from the South African

The people of Iran, we see you 🙏🏽

Broke systems love unpaid passion.

I’m watching who following through without being reminded. That’s leadership material.

What’s missing from the online discourse about the viral Jacksonville Jaguars interview The Black Press never agreed to conform to the mainstream media’s ideal of “objectivity.”

New from me: There's some context missing from all of the conversation about Lynn Jones Turpin, the Black journalist who went viral for her words to the Jacksonville Jaguars head coach

People think consistency loud. It ain’t. It look like doing the same boring thing even when nobody checking for you.

I think this should be emphasized too. Even if you cuss at the police, hate the police, yell at the police, “get in there way,” they don’t get to shoot you in the damn face.

Renee Nicole Good, the woman shot & killed by an ICE agent, had a young son whose father died in 2023, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune

“There’s nobody else in his life,” the boy’s grandfather told the paper. “I’ll drive. I’ll fly. To come get my grandchild.” www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

To quote Biggie, “If you don’t know, now you know.”

After a White Town Rejected a Data Center, Developers Targeted a Black Area Four million Americans live within 1 mile of a data center. The communities closest to them are “overwhelmingly” non-white.

After a white county in South Carolina rejected a data center, developers have sets their sights on a Black community for a proposed data center complex the size of 1,200 football fields

Not big on introductions. I’ll talk when it matter.

🌈Not supposed to talk about this, buuuut sometimes in our struggle about orientation, we cause just so much destruction in our families. Or even communities. Our internal angst turns into aggressive outbursts.

We sometimes start actual wars!
